Description
Coppice Mead Cottage is an early 18th-century house, and may incorporate fabric from an earlier building. It was originally two cottages. The house has a timber-frame structure with colourwashed plaster and a thatched roof. It has a four-window front, and is one storey high with attics. The rear elevation features three-light casement windows on the ground floor, and eyebrow dormers with two-light casement windows in the attic; all the windows are 20th-century replacements and have leaded lights. A central plank door is sheltered by an open trellis porch with a tiled sloping roof. There is a red brick ridge stack situated between the two left-hand bays, and a red brick external stack located on the right-hand gable end. A single-storeyed red brick addition with a thatched roof and a casement window extends from the left-hand gable end. The front elevation is plain except for a 20th-century sloping dormer.
